@@TanvirAhmed-bz2ox yea. It was the emotional peak of the series and pretty much everyone agrees to that. Jiraya's death, Sasuke vs Itachi happening almost at the same time.

[@Storm2war]

Amazing fights everyone good job

[@RealCaptainJaws]

Opening with my favorite anime fight of all time: Karna vs Sieg. The use of color, the truly impossible scale of the final attack, the thoughtfulness of the conclusion, Sieg calling out for his hero's help, the mutual respect, the music (omg the music)... it had everything, and it's just a side-battle, but one that demonstrated the heroic character of the protagonist. This was the point in the show when I started to believe in Sieg and saw him as the main character. The show itself was above-par; there are many memorable fights, but the story just leans heavily on it's predecessor and never really gets up on it's own. Still, it's one of the few fully re-watched anime of mine simply because those fights really are THAT good, frequent enough to maintain interest, and there's just enough interwoven intrigue to keep a casual viewer entertained.... plus my favorite anime battle of all time! THAT is ART!

[@thebestfrom361]

Just to be clear I was referring to kakashi vs obito where they straight did Taijutsu, while the scenes were cutting back and forth between their training battles as kids and the present fight, that was just so cool, the animation was top tier and the choreography of the fight itself was amazing.
